all across social media cryptic colored
cubes and from twitter users to
celebrities everyone seems to be
bragging about their scores playing a
game called wordle designed by a
software engineer named josh wardle for
his partner because she loved word games
like the ones in the new york times
wardell telling the new york times soon
friends and family were hooked and
within months over a quarter of a
million people were trying to solve the
wordle of the day it's a rollercoaster
of emotions is it part of your daily
routine now every morning or if i stay
up till midnight the layout is super
simple no app just a website without ads
or money making gimmicks it's explosive
growth spread mostly by wordle of mouth
feels like everyone's playing it
for british fans of an old game show
called lingo the five letter word
guessing might feel a little familiar
plain p-l-a-i-n
[Music]
but in this game no opening hints as you
try to solve a five-letter word in six
turns or less so let's say we try stood
so see that yellow there that tells us
we got a couple letters right but in the
wrong place okay so how about dots well
the green means the letter o is in the
right place how about toads now we've
got two letters in the right place and
we know there's an a somewhere
uh how about t-o-d-a-y
[Music]
but in real life it is a lot tougher
just ask the queen of scrabble my genius
wife
okay about this
no
what if i don't get it
then i am the world champion of the
house could there still be another a in
this word though haha big spoiler alert
the answer is yes sometimes a letter is
used twice like in ba no
[Music]
is that your final answer yes
okay but did you google it yeah
a lot of
were not words tomorrow no googling
now one of the biggest things that keeps
people coming back it only lets you play
once a day which leaves you jonesing for
so much more guys i guess i get it yeah
yeah so wait are you the wordle king of
the house
